Chapter 216 The Painting Is Fake

"Did I hear it right? Who said that this scroll is not worth even fifty taels of silver?"

"Ridiculous, really ridiculous. This is the original work of Master Mu Lan. How could it be not worth even fifty taels of silver?"

"Who is making such a fuss? It's ridiculous."

Even the eldest son, although his expression did not change, had a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

"Who was talking just now?" The face of the second master Mu on the side immediately darkened. If he said that this scroll was not worth even fifty taels of silver, wouldn't that mean that the eldest son had no taste and bought a fake?

Seeing them like this, the eighth master Mu couldn't help but smile awkwardly. He also knew that he had spoken too loudly just now. Just when he wanted to make amends, he heard Mu Sanniang shouting loudly: "I saw it. It was the young man next to the eighth master who said it."

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were focused on Su Chen.

Mr. Mu Ba blamed himself for being so big-mouthed, and said with a smile: "Third sister, and everyone, I heard it wrong just now, Master Su Chen didn't say that."

But at this moment, Su Chen's faint voice suddenly rang out: "Yes, that's what I said, this painting is not worth even fifty taels of silver."

All of a sudden, everyone took a breath of cold air, this young man was so bold.

"How dare you!"

A genius under the command of the eldest prince immediately jumped out and accused, "How dare you say that the gift prepared by the eldest prince for the prince is not worth even fifty taels of silver, have you lived enough?"

Su Chen smiled faintly and said: "I think that if your eldest prince really gave this fake painting as a birthday gift to the Prince of Anyang, then he really lived enough."

Fake painting?

Impossible?

Everyone present immediately looked at each other, almost thinking that they had heard it wrong.

The eldest son had spent so much effort to find the original work of Master Mu Lan, but this unknown young man actually said it was a fake painting?

"What nonsense."

Just then, someone snorted coldly.

The person who snorted coldly was Sun Yaozu, the most capable genius under the eldest son.

Sun Yaozu glanced at Su Chen with disdain and said indifferently: "What basis do you have to say that this painting is fake? It's ridiculous. This painting was finally found by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after spending a lot of manpower and material resources. You said it was fake right away. Do you mean that your vision is worse than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Yes, kid, are you saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not as good as you?"

"It's so funny. You said that this original painting of Master Mu Lan is fake. I want to ask you if you have seen the original painting of Master Mu Lan. What basis do you have to say that?"

"That's right. If you want to say that this painting is fake, you must at least show evidence!"

A group of geniuses under the command of the eldest prince immediately attacked Su Chen.

"Where did these flies buzz? I have no obligation to answer your questions."

Su Chen chuckled.

"Boy, how dare you talk to us in this tone?"

"It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you don't understand how much you are capable of."

One of the geniuses of the ninth level of the Condensation Realm rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Su Chen.

However, before he could get close to Su Chen, he was slapped by Su Chen and fell back directly on a wine table behind him, with wine and food soaking half of his body, looking very embarrassed.

"Hiss! ~"

"How is it possible?"

"This guy seems to be only the seventh level of the Condensation Realm, how could he slap back a ninth level of the Condensation Realm?"

Everyone around him found it incredible.

Little did they know that although Su Chen's cultivation was the seventh level of the Condensation Realm, his actual combat power had already exceeded the ninth level of the Condensation Realm and was comparable to the tenth level of the Condensation Realm.

"How dare you!"

"You are really tired of living if you dare to touch the eldest prince!"

A group of geniuses under the eldest prince were immediately furious and scolded.

At this time, Mu Sanniang also added fuel to the fire and deliberately said: "Su Chen, you dare to touch the genius under the eldest prince, are you going to challenge the majesty of His Royal Highness?"

This made the geniuses under the eldest prince even more furious.

"Dare to challenge the majesty of His Royal Highness, it's simply too bold."

"Let's all go together and kill him."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mu Baye immediately stood up and said: "Everyone, don't be impulsive first, what Mr. Su Chen said may not be intended to offend His Royal Highness, it may just be a matter of fact."

After all, Mu Baye is one of the top leaders of the Mu family. With his words, the geniuses under the eldest prince immediately calmed down.

However, Mu Sanniang was unmoved and sneered: "What do you mean by just discussing the facts? Do you mean that this original painting by Master Mu Lan is indeed a fake?"

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous." Sun Yaozu also said coldly, "This painting was selected by the eldest prince himself, how could it be fake?"

In fact, everyone under the eldest prince knew that in order to help the eldest prince find this scroll, the Sun family behind Sun Yaozu also made a lot of efforts.

Now someone said that the scroll was fake, Sun Yaozu would naturally not be happy.

"That's right, if this painting is fake, I will eat the table leg right on the spot!" Another genius under the eldest prince said, and laughed loudly after he finished speaking, obviously thinking that the joke he told was very funny.

"Hahaha, Brother Zhang, then you can't eat it today."

A group of people echoed and made fun of it.

"Funny."

Su Chen shook his head.

The young man called Brother Zhang was obviously embarrassed, and his face changed and said: "Boy, who do you say is funny?"

"I'm talking about you. I didn't expect that you look like a decent person, but you have such a strange hobby. If I don't satisfy you, it seems that I am too unkind."

Su Chen chuckled.

Originally, he and Mr. Mu Ba just said it casually, and didn't think of making a big deal about it.

But these guys rushed to get their faces up to him to ask for a beating, so it's not his fault.

"Okay." The genius surnamed Zhang also got angry, "Then tell me, how is this painting fake? If you can't tell me, I'll make you kneel down and call me grandpa!"

"Mr. Su, is this painting really fake?"

Mr. Mu Ba also asked curiously. It's not that he didn't believe Su Chen, but Su Chen's words were too sensational. The original painting that the eldest prince had worked so hard to find turned out to be fake. Doesn't that mean that the eldest prince is blind?

Su Chen smiled, but he slowly explained: "First, although the paper of this painting is yellowed, it is actually an effect of deliberately applying paint to make it old. Its paper is thin and brittle, and it is very easy to damage, but the real original painting of Master Mu Lan should be thick and flexible, and it is very difficult to damage, because Master Mu Lan likes to use a kind of bark from his hometown to make paper for painting. The paper made of that kind of bark has such characteristics."
